BMX Freestyle Bikes

What Defines a BMX Freestyle Bike?

BMX freestyle bikes are crafted for executing tricks, jumps, and stunts, suited for riding on streets or at the skate park. Often known as BMX trick bikes, these bikes are distinctive due to their large handlebars and small, sturdy tyres.

These bikes are designed to be robust and tough, capable of withstanding the impacts associated with this style of BMX riding. They typically feature frames made from highly durable Chromoly or Hi-Ten steel, which are heavier compared to the lightweight race BMX bikes.

The Varied Forms of Freestyle BMX

Over time, freestyle BMX has evolved to encompass a range of styles. Although there are differences among them, there aren't any strict rules, and they often overlap significantly.

STREET BMX

Street BMX involves performing tricks and stunts in urban environments, similar to skateboarding or skating. When riding in the street, objects like rails and kerbs are used for grinding and executing stunts.

PARK BMX

Park BMX is generally performed in skate parks, aiming to accomplish tricks on features such as ramps and rails. This style can take place at a versatile skate park or a specialised arena constructed for BMX biking.

VERT BMX

The goal here is to do stunts and air tricks on a vert ramp, essentially a large half-pipe with a vertical top. Riders move from one side of the half-pipe to the other, striving for maximum air time to perform their tricks. This style is often considered the most extreme and challenging within freestyle BMX.

FLATLAND BMX

In Flatland BMX, the focus is on executing tricks and spins on flat surfaces. Without the use of ramps and rails, flatland is frequently seen as the most artistic style among freestyles. Many flatland cyclists also engage in other freestyle disciplines.
